Correct answer & explanation
✓
200
When routes are redistributed into BGP from an IGP, they become local BGP routes, not eBGP. The default administrative distance for local BGP routes is 200, as configured by the `distance bgp` command: `distance bgp 20 200 200` (external, internal, local). Therefore, redistributed routes, which are considered local, have an AD of 200.
